When feelings are strong and magic appearsIt isn't so strange that there may be fears.For life is an ebb and love is a flow.The yin and the yang — it comes and goes.Yet there is an elixir with the strongest of curesWith "Love" on its label, it always endures.Like the light of the Sun and that of the MoonBeyond time and space it heals all wounds.Poured with great passion with my heart an open doorI offer you this drink that I have never served before.

~~ F. Ravel

~*~ QUOTES ON LOVE ~*~

Love is the answer to the final question you ask.

Divine love, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way that light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more that it gives itself; so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of loving is. And, the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, for, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other's.
~~ Dante

They may not be aware of it, but you are, and that is all that is needed for you to see that light shining within them... And know that one day they too will see that light within themselves and forgive themselves...
